Update on the brake controller: I took the car to the Ford dealer. They confirmed that my truck was an early production WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHT WIRING. But, they kept their word on the price: $551 installed with the Ford part which includes a 2 year warranty.
They had to run new wiring to the bumper and asked me about the 12v power pin and I told them I would never use it anyhow. They also DID NOT use the 3rd high mounted light as the brake source so they told me that I should just turn off the adaptive cruise as it won't actuate the brakes on the trailer.
I love the truck but this is ridiculous. How can the trailer lighting work, but never ran the wires to the brake area? Picking up the truck in a couple of hours and I will test it out on my tractor hauling trailer.
